Loosing the cook at c-ckteliera Mazatlan who really knew how to make Almejas al Carbon like you never tasted before. The new cook can't seem to get
it right.

TOPES
How many of us remember the first tope you ever encountered in Baja? It felt like my transmission was going to fall out. That was 30 years ago next to
the town Triunfo. Fortunately my wife figured out on the first one that the words were related to the bump.
They are way better these days. You get a series of smaller bumps (tremblador, or something like that) before you hit the real thing. But I still
manage to hit one on each trip.
They come in a variety of forms. The town of Pueblo San Lucas (next to San Lucas Cove) simply has these massively thick ropes laying across the road
next to the school. They work suprisingly well.

There is a topes that I hit hard going to Playa Tecolote out of La Paz that ripped one of my truck airbags apart. It sounded like a small bomb going
off!

TOPES...
I sure remember discovering topes. It was our first trip to Baja, plane had landed very late afternoon in Cabo and DH was driving the tiny rental car
fast in order to reach La Paz before dark. I'm reading road signs and looking in my little dictionary for translations. So I'm thumbing through
pages muttering "tope, tope" when ka-boom!, heads slam into car roof. Oh yeah, tope. One word we'll never forget.

Buttermild substitute: 1 cup milk w/ 1 tsp. of vinegar.
Worst thing? Canadians in general
and anyone else driving 25-40 ft. motorhomes on Mex. 1.
Next to the worst thing? Being anywhere around Capt. Mike smoking a cigar.

Wilderone
Gee---I hope the canadians don't get the idea that we don't just love their company. I love following a Canadian Caravan down the Baja. These
people stop on curves and stop when another big rig or truck is coming the other way. Why they don't get rear ended is a mystory to me. Is that how
Cannucks drive in the North? Another thing that puzzles me is when they pull off for the night---they never leave their motorhomes to look around.
The Mexicans say they are muy coto (cheap). Maybe living in all that snow does something to the brain. Oh well it takes all kinds, I guess.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Have you tried soured milk? We save spoiled milk to be used in baking. Have used it for pancakes and waffles too.
